Ingredients

  • 375 mL (1 ½ cups) whole wheat flour
  • 125 mL (½ cup) oat bran
  • 10 mL (2 tsp) baking powder
  • 10 mL (2 tsp) packed brown sugar
  • 1 mL (¼ tsp) ground nutmeg
  • 30 mL (2 tbsp) soft non-hydrogenated margarine
  • 165 mL (⅔ cup) 0% plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 ripe pear, cored and diced
  • 85 mL (⅓ cup) shredded light old Cheddar or crumbled blue cheese

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

In a large bowl, combine flour, oat bran, baking powder, sugar and nutmeg. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, rub margarine into flour mixture until it looks crumbly. Using a fork, stir in yogurt to make a ragged dough. Add pear and cheese and knead gently to make a soft dough.

3

Place dough on a floured surface and pat into a 20 cm (8 inch) circle about 2 cm (¾ inch) thick and cut into 8 wedges. Separate wedges and place on baking sheet.

4

Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden.
